regression test agent-getpeereid failure when SUDO defined

When I run "make tests SUDO=sudo" under fedora 42 and ubuntu 25.04 I 
consistently get a failure in the agent-getpeereid test. I'm building 
this with no configure options. On a whim I also tried it with tag 
V_8_9_P1 and V_9_1_P1 and am getting similar failures.

The error is:

ssh-add did not fail for nobody: 1 < 2
The agent has no identities.
sudo: unable to execute /home/rapier/openssh-portable/ssh-add: 
Permission denied
failed disallow agent attach from other uid

Is anyone else seeing this or are my VMs haunted?
